originally aired in January of 1987 ? good heavens that?s over 20 years ago! Now I do feel old!
I have taken a brief look around the various sites selling this sort of thing and the best price that I have found for Series One is £12.97 on Amazon, although it may be cheaper on EBay but of course it may not be brand new.
Series One consists of three separate episodes which all originally aired in January 1987.
The Dead of Jericho

After reading several of your well written opinions, people, I see that I may be going out on a limb here.
It appears that many of you, if not all, are big Morse fans.
Personally, I think it was the biggest load of old twoddle on the TV.
Lets have a quick look at the programme shall we:
